crises: the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, December 1941, the German
invasion of the Soviet Union, June 1941, the outbreak of the Korean
War, June 1950, and the Cuban Missile Crisis, October 1962. The data
were collected for the principal actors in each crisis and span a
period from 18 months prior to the crisis to one month subsequent to
the actual crisis. Five primary variables are coded for the data: date
of occurrence, initiator and recipient of the event, geographical area,
and a classification code based on the World Event/Interaction Survey (WEIS)
coding scheme.
